Purchase Order Payments

SOLVED

Hi 

I need help with fixing an error message that I keep getting when I try to print a payment on a laser cheque. 

This is the error message

Sage 50

You have selected a Sage 50 Form file of another form type, or the Sage 50 Form 

file you selected has been damaged.

When I try to change the print form and save it I get this message again, I also have gotten other error messages trying to print a cheque out.

Can anyone help me out? I have tried following the other solutions but doesn't work out.

    

It keeps going over and over even when I try to change the form I get the same error messages.

thank you for helping me out.

    Hi @Rosie, 

    I'm in a sample company and have the below forms. Note the name of the file at the end. This is case sensitive and cannot be mixed up or the program will reject it.

    Payment Check Settings:
    c:\program files (x86)\sage 50 accountant edition version 2020\forms\paymtch06.sfm

    Payroll Cheque Settings
    c:\program files (x86)\sage 50 accountant edition version 2020\forms\payrlch06.sfm

    Look for the exact file name and browse to select it. It's rare to have to replace a corrupt form, but I believe I've done that in the past.

    Hope this helps!

    Unfortunately, your images of the Reports & Forms Setup for Cheques is blocking the settings for the Payroll cheques.  Have you confirmed that one is selected properly?

    The options for both sections are indicated by Erzsi.  However, if you select the Payment Cheque - Easy Align for the Payment Cheque Settings Description drop down (first box grouping) and the Payroll Cheque with YTD Totals - Easy Align for the Payroll Cheque Settings Description drop down (second box grouping), you should be able to print.  And yes, you have to select a real file for payroll cheques even if you are not using payroll cheques.

    These defaults may not be the one's you want because they both come with your company name on the cheque and stubs, so you may have to modify them to get what you want.  You may also already have them modified and you just need to find them on your system.  They could be located anywhere on your computer or network.

    If you use a User-Defined setting and select a Payroll cheque for the Payment cheque settings you will get the message about using a form of a different form type.
